Complaint Review: Tanya benson - Viroqua Wisconsin

Still in business. Gotta say this lady needs to be shut down. Just got a puppy from her  and everything she said was a lie. She said that the puppy was 12 weeks old  yet the birthday she gave us only equalled out to 7wks. Of course she wouldn't give us any info until she led us on a wild goose chase trying to figure out where to meet her.  It turns out she lives just down the road from my dad. She added 1 hour to my drive just by refusing to give us an address or  even town. Then when we got there she had a horse show that she said she was running and had to leave right away. She also had me sign a receipt but wouldn't give me a copy , she was in a hurry.  

The immunization record s were obviously  hand written by her and not legit  as they were dated the same day she claimed the puppy was born and no barcodea were included. The puppy smelled like a barn and fabreze. He was dirty and had a huge amount of poop crusted on his back end.  I took him into Petco an the vet there said that his stomach was firm and most likely he was dehydrated and under nourished. We had to put him on adult dog food to increase  the protein and get him actually moving. When we got home this poor puppy could hardly walk a couple of steps before collapsing. He shook with fear and had no desire to play. I called Tanya but she didn't answer and her  VM was full so I couldn't leave a message. She did call back a short time later. I expressed that I had found her on the internet and  saw a lot of symptoms with this puppy  that I read in the complaints .

I said I was concerned that  she may be getting her puppies from Amish puppy mills which she denied.  I described the state of health  and she stated she  took excellent care of the puppy and she had gotten  him from her friend.  I told her I would be bringing the puppy in to see my vet and she stated if there is something wrong with him I could call her and get my money back. I told her  that even if this puppy was dying I would not return him to her care . Again I addressed her getting  her puppies from the Amish and she said that she do own a kennel on Amish land and  that is where the puppy came from.  Hmm. I thought she said she got him from her friend.  She continued to contradict herself and eventually demanded that after I saw the vet that I call her back and tell her the results and hung up on me.

Please someone needs to stop this horrible person. And those of you defending her are diluted or maybe are actually her. I find it hard to believe that someone who is truly and legitimately defending her would feel the need to use such vulgarities and not see this person for what she is. An opportunist and a con artist.  I know some are looking at  legal means to stop her and I would be more than willing to be a part of it. I will be watching this thread and will respond to anyone interested in taking her down.

PS here is a list of phone numbers and addresses for her that I found on the internet. Craigslist beware and be careful. Address - S6194 Us Highway 27 Viroqua WI E6380 Tainter Hollow Rd Viroqua WI Phone - (608) 675-3811 (608)-780-9044 (608) 391-0780
